ParthaSarathy and RamaKrishna looked at each other. ParthaSarathy said quietly to Manohar.
"Harini and Karthi seem to be in love."
"Does your son love Harini too?"
ParthaSarathy nodded sadly at Manohar to say but said nothing.
Manohar said. "Harini’s mother Girija has good opinion of your son than Karthi. Now you are the Chief Minister. They can't deny if you go and ask her daughter’s hand for your son. ”
RamaKrishna was surprised that he knows everything and said, "But the girl should agree”
Manohar did not like the joke and spoke to ParthaSarathy without turning his face. "Middle class families still has the affection, the dignity, the forbearance. Harini is the only girl for Girija. If Girija stands firmly in her position, there is a chance that girl will say yes. Your son is also a friend of hers. Not a stranger to her. ”
Moving from the position of friend to the position of lover may be small in some case. For some it may be too high to cross. Trying to transcend this second type can also miss the position of friend. It did not seem to ParthaSarathy that Akash would be ready to lose it either.
Manohar got up. “Give it a try. It’s urgent. ”
Urgency means order. ParthaSarathy nodded. He is gone. RamaKrishna asked. "Why he is concerned about Akash?"
“All his focus is on Karthi. He wants to exclude Harini from Karthi for some reason. That's all. ”
RamaKrishna said. "Your boy will be happy if all goes well like he said. Now it is traumatizing to see his face,

Karthi visualized exchanging ring with Harini and send the message to her. Determined not to miss the information he was sending, Harini, who was waiting quietly only felt like holding Karthi's hand and rubbing her finger. In fact she was overjoyed when he told her of the information he had sent. "Karthi we are making progress. We passed this test. Is it because of you or because of me? ”
". It is as if the frequencies within us are uninterrupted. ” said Karthi. He also said "There is a scope for improvement. We did feel right about what we felt. But we didn’t receive the respective information. I didn’t receive your Thirukkural book, you didn’t receive my ring”
"Yes, it’s true. But we made a lot of progress for the beginners. Well, I'm going to have a special day at a nursing home with some other social workers. Will have to stay there all day. The next day you are going to America. So we will continue our experiment as soon as you arrive. Have a safe journey. ”
Karthi had been reading the writings of Gnanaprakasam all night and the next day. Before meeting him he tried to guess what features of the opponent's interest in the field, other than that thread. It seemed good that he knew them clearly before meeting him. But Gnanaprakasam in psychology touched almost every major so there was plenty to read and know. His personality amazed him. He wondered if the enemy could have been involved in any of this.

When ParthaSarathy informed Akash what Manohar had told him, Akash did not respond and said in ry voice. "Dad, Harini is not the type to listen to anyone. She will do whatever she wants. ”
"But he told us to try" he said
“Make it look like you are acting without my knowledge. I don’t want to lose her friendship too”
Not once has his son smiled since the day Karthi came back alive. Did not laugh. Didn't enjoy anything. Wandering like inferius.
Girija could not bear the excitement when the Chief Minister's car stopped in the doorway without any warning. Harini has gone to a nursing home for something. She did not know how to welcome and treat him. She could not bear the pride of seeing peeking heads from neighboring houses.
"Welcome Sir, Come in and sit down" she greeted with a mouth full of teeth. Only RamaKrishna entered with ParthaSarathy. Police officers stood outside the door respectfully.
ParthaSarathy and RamaKrishna sat on the sofa. Girija doesn't know what to say. "Harini has gone out," she said.
"It’s okay. That's good. Akash do not know we are here, ”said ParthaSarathy.
ParthaSarathy looked at RamaKrishna when Girija looked confused not knowing what he was coming to say. "My uncle had been trying to get Akash married for a long time. I'm starting to feel it too. I was reminded of Harini when I thought of seeing a good alliance for Akash ”
She could not bear the thought that the Chief Minister came to her home with marriage alliance proposal for his son. At the same time she has no doubt that Harini will not agree. At the same time she felt happy and sad.
ParthaSarathy continued without showing it even though he noticed it. "They are good friends. I don't want to embarrass them. Talk to your daughter. I will talk with my son too. If they do not agree we will leave. Else, we will arrange for their wedding, ”
RamaKrishna told his nephew as he finished. “I know Harini. Good girl. She is not the type to dodge her mother”
Girija did not know what to say. He was so optimistic. The Chief Minister conducted himself in a polite and relevant manner. Will Harini listen to her? She said reluctantly."I will talk to her"
They both nodded, Girija said sadly. "You have come to our home for the first time. And you are leaving without eating in our house”
RamaKrishna said, “Tell us the good news. We will come for the feast”
They left. After they left surrounded by police security and their entourage, the neighbors came up with some reason and asked why the Chief Minister had come. Girija was saddened that she could not boast openly that they had come to talk about the affair.
"His son and my daughter go to the same college. They are close friends. You have seen Akash here many times. Many times Harini would have invited them to come here. And they came here today.”
Her daughter's tendency prevented from fully enjoying the awe and jealousy on their faces. She will not agree. She loves Karthi. Even Karthi is way out of their league for their current situation. Son of a minister. MP's brother. Is it equal to the Chief Minister’s son? Many thoughts came to her mind at the same time and Girija took a leave of absence from the office and started thinking.
